Just looked at a manual, you have made yourself some more work. If your going inside these things I would recommend that you get some manuals.

Did you take the PTO apart????

What are we looking at??? Maybe a wider picture would help.

did you try bates?

Sooooo....what is the outcome???

You need to find the IH manual, lots of little parts in there.

Woulda been a lot easier ta whittled a wood plug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If yer worried about a few shavings just clean em out with a magnet if steel or use a vacuum. Yes, you need to cut the bushing at 90° to the head but do not cut into the threads in the head, the collapse it with a blunt chisel.

I am sure the loader frame is close but a short saw blade could be used even if only cutting one side, it takes very little to relieve the threads.

For heat in this case, I would heat the inside of the bushing and then let it cool before another try.

Yep, 15 minutes and yer done.

If yer gonna try this then you need to put a piece of shaft or a bolt in the bushing or it will just rip the head off.

Just for the record, easy outs are useless for anything stuck.

Yep, ya got to cut it out now.

I am sure that will work but there sure isn't much room to get the bolts out from under the tank.
